1985

Friends Marc and Franky start a career with the Gendarmerie. The corps is in a deep crisis after an internal drug scandal and Marc ends up in the middle of the internal battle within the Gendarmerie. Student Vicky distances herself from her brother Franky and Marc because they are not very popular as gendarmes on the left-wing university campus.

Marc and Goffinard discover an unexpected connection between several serious crimes. Goffinard wants to keep their research quiet as much as possible, to keep everything in their own hands. Franky gradually becomes more and more entangled in the extreme right-wing network, even though he does not yet know exactly what it entails or where it could lead.

Marc and Vickys fledgling relationship is strained by their diverse backgrounds and political differences. Franky is allowed to work as a security agent at a private party of a minister, which brings him even closer to the extreme right-wing leaders. Another bloody attack is committed, further escalating the situation.

After several deadly attacks, it suddenly becomes quiet around the "Bende van Nijvel" gang, and the investigation therefore comes to a standstill. Marc has to do administrative work, much to his frustration. When Vicky receives an interesting assignment, he hopes she will pass on information to him, but he has not counted on her professional secrecy. Franky is increasingly fleeing into hard drugs.
